Happy good day! What a marvellous memory of a day with your Mum as you stayed home from school. My Mum let me stay home whenI felt sick too. What lucky kids we were. Interesting how you have to come to terms with giving yourself permission to have a quiet day. Cheers to you!

I highly recommend regular days with time spent nurturing your soul; no permission needed as you deserve it! My newest favourite is after walking my terror, Bear the terrier, along the local beach I come home to make a coffee with a small cookie on the side. Then its time for at least an hour or more with my latest audiobook and my sketch pad. I’m self taught pencil & watercolour pencil sketcher which allows my mind to relax & play while the book whirls me away at another world, time & adventure. During our lockdowns I found our library system had a new audiobook app that meant I could borrow directly from home. Perfect, as my beloved print books were unavailable for months. Now with a great narrator & entertaining author I can pass hours of sleepless nights or enjoy my morning coffee. Totally guilt free. Yehhh Public Libraries!!

Thank you Sue for the delightful description of your lovely day lolling about.
I did the same recently as I devoted the whole day to reading my book club novel. It was definitely a read all in one day kind of book……a crime novel set in India.
I love all the descriptions of food and drink items in your story and reminds me what makes life worth living.

You have such a way of drawing the reader right into your narrative.
Love this as I have loved reading many of your previous posts.
Thank you.
